Check Out The Stunning Gap Between The Number Of Credit Cards Apple And Amazon Each Have On File

Tim Cook announced during Apple's most recent earnings call that iTunes
is now one of the main drivers of the company's business. Because
of Apple's crazy-popular hardware, it's easy to forget its focus
on e-commerce by selling books, movies, and music through iTunes.

However, all it takes is one look at a chart comparing the number
of iTunes accounts versus active Amazon accounts to see just how
big the iTunes community is.

In fact, iTunes has nearly quadruple the number of accounts — and
thus, credit cards on file — as Amazon does. This gap feels
stunning, especially considering how much more than just movies
and music that Amazon sells. Apple's wealth of credit card
information could end up giving the company a huge advantage if
it eventually decides to work on some sort of mobile wallet.
